Abstract:Abstract. The source of time-correlated photon-pairs at 1064 nm is described. The source consists of the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) generator, pumped by cw laser operating at 532 nm, and the measuring and control appliances. One of the main parts of the electronic systems is the "time-to-digital converter" which is designed and built by our group. The system allows to create and detect correlation of photon pairs with resolution better than 1 ns. We adduce the results of a quantum key distri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
